I have just joined the SLX owners club

SLX -30. Replaced a Fishing pole. A tage heavier.....but wow...sooo much easier to use AND...........
It's David proof....

Yeah I trod on it before I even got it in use........full 16 1/2 st of me on the top section...with boots!!
I had a fit.....but............not a sound......no "CRACK!!"...IT SURVIVED

.
Seriousely though, I used it all day for everything, bit heavier than my trusted Unger Optilock mod but easy to use and could get everything without a pole change.
